Pondering

When I started with yola my site was www.yourdomain.yolasite.com and i had to use the free templates. Now I have purchased the 1 year plan and I'm still having to select from the free templates, why? There's not many to choose from because a lot of them resemble the same instead of having a different template. The banner templates that can be changed won't allow you to add flash to it, only in the body, why?

Did you purchase a custom domain for year or the Yola Silver package? Custom domains and premium styles are stand alone products, or they are both included in the Yola Silver package. We strive to make our pricing very competitive and offer many free options if people don't want to or cannot purchase something.

The Yola Silver package includes numerous great features at a really great price including a premium style. Here is a link with more information: Yola Packages.

First, you are not limited to the "free" templates. You can always purchase one of the custom templates. Actually you are provided one for free with your Yola Silver package. You can also modify some of the plain templates to an astonishing degree.

Second, I'm not sure whether you can use flash in your banner or not. Just in the last week or two we had a discussion on here about how you *can* use flash with Yola. Where did that discussion go?? -- I can't find it. But I do remember that one can use flash for some purposes (contrary to my original impression).

Can you let us know which banner type ?
As far as I know, you can't add .swf files(flash tweens) as the banner.
If you need an animated LOGO , use an animated gif.(do not use for banner, you will loss colours.)
